You don’t even have to run it off the eMMC of the Nook, and as long as it’s a decent SD card (ie class 2 or 4, not a class 10 card), it’ll run just fine. My wife loves that her Nook now has 3 OS’s on it (Nook, Froyo, Honeycomb) and she can do whatever she wants with it and everything works. Plain and simple, 20 minutes searching XDA and you can have yourself a rather comparable tablet in the Nook. Personally though, I’d just spend another $150 and buy a Asus Transformer.

There’s already plenty of cheapie resistive touchscreen Android tablets made in china for $99 all over eBay.

There’s plenty of room for a tablet just like this, WITH a capacitve touchscreen, to find success.
…capacitive touchscreens aren’t that expensive.

I’d bet this could be made for $150, worst case $200 with a capacitive screen.
That would be news, and I’d be interested, for a casual tablet to toss about the house.

Right now, the only thing approaching that price point is a Nook color at $249, and then you have to add the knowledge and labor of rooting it and installing a real Android ROM.
